Buying a used 2018 Cadillac CTS? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2018 Cadillac CTS has 2 recalls, both concerning potential loss of electric power steering assist. Because both listed campaigns address steering assistance, verify each applicable campaign individually in the vehicle's repair history. Its 8 owner complaints are unverified reports, with 3 involving the power train, 3 electrical systems, 1 airbags, and 1 unknown or other. The complaint record includes 1 crash, 0 fires, and 0 injuries, without establishing a link between that crash and a steering recall.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify completion of each applicable power-steering recall by VIN.
- Ask about intermittent heavy steering or steering warning messages.
- Request records for transmission, electrical, or airbag faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Cadillac dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
